Try using straignt wihite vinegar on a clean white cotton towel. Do this out of the sun. Blot the water spots with the vinegar and let it sit for a minute. Wipe off.
If it doesn't come off with that, you'll need to have them machine buffed out. Hopefully they have not eaten away too much of the clear. If so, you are pretty much SOL.

Take the car to your dealer, those things you think are water spots are probably the clearcloat disintegrating, I got mine repainted for free under warrenty cause the pain job sucks so bad.

the water droplets are like little magnifying glasses that etch you BASE COAT!!!!!!! AND CLAER COAT!!!!!!!!!! so get them off asap. My dad's accord had waterspots etched in, and even after high speed rotry machine buffing they wotn come out. The vinegar does do better than machione buffing actually.
